The flight to the company’s facility was relatively uneventful. You rode in a small Cessna fixed-wing aircraft. Your pilot was moderately annoying. He talked your ears off with discussion of internet trading companies, and how he’s joining this pyramid scheme company to make lots of money and a relatively short period of time. You stopped responding shortly after this and secretly hoped for the small plane to crash into the mountains. The plane came to a stop on the small snow covered landing strip in a remote Montana valley. You assisted the pilot with getting the new shipment of supplies unloaded, as well as your own personal gear. As you approached the entrance to the facility, you are somewhat surprised to see that it was a huge natural cave opening in the side of the mountain.  The ground is covered in gravel the same color as the granite cave walls, it crunches loudly beneath your feet as you enter the cave. The interior of the cave is significantly darker than the outside, but it is lit by small light fixtures built into the walls, as well as the light coming in from the outside. As you make you way inside, you notice a large outcove to your left that seems to contain large metal drums. The end of the tunnel comes in the form of a huge closed blastdoor. Standing in front of it are three other men. One of them men, wearing a brown fedora steps forward and greets your pilot. The two men talk as if old friends, and you get the impression that he to is a pilot. The other two men stand silent, regarding the two men and you in silence. From there looks and the descriptions you've been given, you would guess that they are CRIMSON and ROANOKE. You note that none of the people present match the description of the man called BLUEMOJO. Start playing gentlemen! Try to be descriptive in your posts. You have some time to kill here before the blast doors open, so you might as well get to know each other.
REMEMBER WHEN PLAYING THAT ALL POSTS ARE MEANT TO BE 'REPLIES' TO THE POST THAT CAME BEFORE IT! |

Rick Wallace AKA "Hollowpoint" steps forward...
He looks roughly like death warmed over. He is dressed in a pair of dress slacks, a wrinkled white dress shirt with the top button undone and a charcoal grey sportcoat. He regards the two men standing in front of him, sizing up his new business associates.
"Thanks" he clears his throat "Name's Rick Wallace, you'll come to know me as Hollowpoint. I'm sure you both know why you are here, right?"
"You must be Crimson.... and if memory serves me correctly you are... Roanoak. Aren't we missing one?"

"I would be that missing person"
A young asian woman with shoulder length black hair steps forward. A silver flight jacket hangs loosely on her slight 5'7" frame. A pair of dark blue Levi 501s and black Doc Martens complete her outfit.
"An all boys club I take it? Hajimamashite dozo yoroshiku. I am Ronni Yoshikawa or Halo will do nicely. Did you enjoy the flight as much as I did?"
She unzippers her jacket revealing a black ribbed turtle neck as she saunters next to Crimson.
"Thank you for the warm welcome" she flashes a brief smile.
"Is anyone else missing?"

Crimson looks briefly at hollowponit and says " Yes i am crimson and you are correct we are still missing your new boss, blue mojo." Crimson turns towards Halo and flashes her a smile. "Nice to see a pretty face around here for a change." He looks back at Hollowpoint and says "Mojo should be arriving shortly, he took a private plane in. He was on another assignment and the higher ups pulled him to come help us."

Ryan "Roanoke" Black steps into the light.
He is 5"11" and has shoulder length black hair. He wears a black leather trenchcoat, a dark navy blue T-shirt, blue stone-washed jeans and solid black sneakers. His deepset, probing brown eyes look over the new arrivals.
"Bluemojo will be here when he gets here. Nice to meet you all. I am Ryan Black, but you probably know me as Roanoke. Sorry for my lack of manners. Just wanted to give you a lookover before speaking. And yes, Hollowpoint, I know why we're here. We're to investigate a murder that took place at this facility. I trust your investigational skills will prove invaluable to the team?"

"I'm far from calling this missiona slam dunk" Hollowpoint remarks to Roanoak. "But from what I've heard of everyone involved I think we are going to be just fine."
He looks over the rest of the crew before spitting out.
"Hey... Halo is it? and Crimson... You two can work on your dating life outside this mission. I think it would be wise to concentrate on the task at hand. We are walking into the lion's den here. This place has been locked down for 4 days now, with the killer still inside. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am looking forward to spending my money after this all is over, this is assuming that I am still alive. I am counting on the rest of you to make sure that happens, just like you can count on me for the same."
After finishing his thoughts Rick fades back a little taking in his surroundings and his companions as well.

Halo pulls out a pack of Red Apple ciggarettes and turns her attention to Crimson.
"My specialties would be item relocation and transit, though I am not certain how these talents will be used for a murder mystery." She fumbles around in her jacket.
"So I will do what I can to help. . . " She sends a wink at Hallowpoint. "And keep my dating life in check."
She changes her focus of attention to the barrels. "So what is in the barrels and can a girl get a light?"

Crimson pulls a lighter out of his duster and lights Halo's ciggarette and moves back to his spot against the wall. " i beleive the barrels are full of fuel for the various vechiels around here, so i wouldn't smoke to close to them."

Wallace steps back into the conversation between Halo and Crimson.
"So, does anyone know any information about this place? I'm not sure if you guys read the same dossier I did, but it said this place holds brilliant minds. What would they need all this fuel for?"

" I know as much about this place as everyone else but i believe that its to power all the crap they have in this rock coffin. Mojo should have more on this place then we do since he's the boss...if he ever gets his lame ass here"
He looks back at Halo "mind if i get one of those" motioning to her ciggarettes.

"Let's get one thing straight... Terry DeMarco is my boss. He is going to be the only one I take direct orders from. Just like you, I've got a job to do and I am planning on getting it done. As for the Blue Mojo, I am curious as to his where-abouts. What does this guy think he is some kind of rock star or something?"
"Think I might take up smoking myself to pass the time." Hollowpoint remarks to know one in particular.

Halo reaches into the inner pocket of her jacket and pulls out the same pack of Red Apples.
"The dossier mentions a brain trust, but not what they are working on so any guess about them is a good one till Mojo shows up."
She opens the pack and flicks the bottom of the box, shooting the filters of two ciggarettes out. She removes the pair and offers them to both Crimson and Hollowpoint while taking a long drag off of her own.
"Now is always a good time to start, but now is never a good time to quit."

Crimson reaches over and takes one of Halo's ciggarettes and lights it up. "Thanks." as he flashes Halo another sly smile. "I really don't give a shit what the egg heads are working on as long as the don't get in the way of our job. And i really hope Mojo gets his ass here soon so we can get this over with." Crimson looks at Roanoke " Did the boss both to say when he planned on getting here?"
